Mr.. Davis and Prohibition.

The anti Prohibition letter which Hon
Jefferson Davis wrote 10 ex-Goy. Lubbock,
Of Texas, few days before the Prohibition
elstion in that State, keeps coming TO the
front in one way aud another 10 annoy him
The latest instance Of annoyance which has
reached the public In connection with it
occurred at "a camp meeting in Mississippi
Mr. Davis listened 10 a Temperance lecture
by Mrs Chaplin at the camp meeting, and
was very much pleased with II. He sat be-
side her az dinner and told her that he
agreed in the main with the sentiments ex-
pressed by her. He said that he knew that
the evils Of the liquor traffic were very
great, and stated that he was strongly in
favor Of temperance. He declared, how
ever, that he was not a Prohibitionist be-
calise be did not believe in interfering with
personal liberty To such an extent as prohi-
btion PROPOSED
Mrs Chaplin, who Is member of the
Womnn's Christian Temperance Union,
wanted Mr. Davis for convert, and asked
him 10 Join the Union He declined because
be could not approve the prohibition doc
trlne Of the Union. Mrs. Chaplin said that
she knew that Mrs. Davis was a Prohibition
it, and that she would like 70 send her a
badge Of the Union. She requested Mr..
Davis 10 be the bearer of IL. He consented,
aud she pinned ito his coat The story
was Immediately set afloat that Mr. Davis,
who had written strong letter against
prohibition 10 an Ex-Governor of Texas. had
four or or five days afterward joined pro-
bibition organization and publicly worn its
badge.
OF course this story excited n great deal
Of comment, and Mr.. Davis was forced TO
go into the public prints TO show that his
conduct had been entirely consistent II
will be some time, however, before the truth
catches up with the falsehood, and it is not
improbable that there are some who will 20
10 their graves with the firm belief that Mr.
Davis wrote against Prohibition one day
and announced himself Prohibitionist the
next The Texas Prohibitionst5 probably
are rather glad that his anti-prohibitioa
letter has caused him some trouble, because
they were inclined 10 resent his interference
with the prohibition contest in their State

The TrtbNne's London correspondent says
that Ar. GladstOne's declaration in favor Of
tunnel under the English channel is a
Gladstone gave it his indOrsement, the
great majority Of Englishrnen regarded the
tunnel scheme as dead and buried, and took
humorous view Of Sir Edward Watkins
fitful efforts at resurrection. Mr.. Glad
stones language reyives their fears. There
are a large number Of Englishmen who con
slider the question whether tunnel shall be
made under the channel as considerably
more vital than the question
whether Ireland shall have home rule
The effect Of Mr. Gladstone's uncalled-for
profession Of faith in this scheme will be 10
ALLEVIATE the votes Of such EnglishTnen. He
will have To explain that in future as in the
past he will not give effect To his personal
predilection in favor of project which the
soberest section Of the community regard as
involving serious risk There is no doubt
that the channel scheme is gaining favor
among EnglishInen. The plan proposed
was voted down in the House Of Commons
the other day by a majority Of forty-six.
When itwas before the House couple
Of years ago, it was defeated by a
majority of 1s2. The main argu-
ment against it on both occasions
was that a secret expedition from France
might seize and hold the English end Of it,
while "A French force was sent through it for
the invasion Of England. The argumen.
does not appear TO be a very strong one, but
thus far it has proved TO be strong enough
to defeat the scheme.

lustrate the points which he wishes 10 make
Speaking the other day Of the flag incident
which, a few weeks ago, attracted so much
attention throughout tho country, he said:
THAT flag affair reminds me OF the man
who had a neighbor who used to enter his
barn at all times and borrow his horse. lie
used the horse so much that he thought he
had right to it superior to that Of the
OWNER. The accommodating owner grew
tired Of maintaining the beast for the benefit
Of his neighbor, and one night went over to
that gcnteman's house to get the animal
He was met by the neighbor, shot gun in
hand, who refused TO give up the animal,
saying: i know the horse is yours, but it's
d impolite Of you nosing around my
house in the night Come In the daytime
and ask for the horse, and perhaps will let
you have IT, Gen. futile thinks it's very
impolite OF the President TO issue an order
for the return of the flags, but il would be
perfectly proper if Congress would grant it
on the plaintive requests Of the various
Southern States.n Yes tho Forakers. Tut

The Seven Cuticura BOYS

Our oldest child, now six years OF age. when
an infant six months old, was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin diseases. All ordi-
nary remedies falling, we called our family
physician, who attempted 10 cure III; but II
spread with almost incredible rapidity, until
the lower portion OF the little fellows person,
from the middle OF his bsck down to his knees,
was one solid rash, ugly, painful. blotched and
malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace by
day. Finally, we were advised to try the Gu
TIouRA REMEDIES. The effect was simply
marvellous. In three or four weeks complete
cure was wrought, leaving the little fellows
perfon as white and healthy as though he had
never been attacked. In my opinion, your val
liable remedies saved his life, and to-day he is a
strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repeti-
tion OF the disease having ever occurred.
